Why isn't the inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase effective in inhibiting DNA viral replication?
Ooh, viruses...
Well, I think you'll find that mammalian cells also have ribonucleotide reductase, not just viruses.

Rnr inhibitors are just too broad to hit just the viruses.
Have you tried using Entrez Pubmed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?
It's very good for finding biological articles and finding info on genes, genomes and even proteins. I use it for all my biological essays.
